If you’ve watched the film before reading this book, prepare
to be amazed as there’s an actual plotline rather than an overpaid director
filming scenes from a script. If you done it vice versa; prepare to be disappointed.
Harry’s childlike innocence is portrayed perfectly as we are introduced to the
world of Hogwarts and its characters. The classroom banter is fantastic and the
narrative eases us gently into the wizarding world; helping the reader to
discover Hogwarts without overloading us with facts and historical accounts of
the world before. We learn at the same rate as Harry as he attends his first
classes; though whether you can remember the rules of Quidditch is a different
matter entirely. It’s a fantastic first adventure and no detail is left
unturned, of which Warner Brothers ignored to their cost as the franchise
continued. It’s a tale that you will want to read again and again.
